The Chargers returned to practice Wednesday missing a number of veteran starters who were listed as sitting out the session — DE Luis Castillo (calf), WR Vincent Jackson (ribs), OLG Shawne Merriman (foot) and OLB Shaun Phillips (ankle).

The Chargers will have to wait at least another week before the return of starting C Nick Hardwick who was listed as out for Sunday’s game against the Giants on the team’s injury report. He hasn’t played since suffering an ankle injury in Week 1.

The Raiders are forced to deal with legal matters surrounding their head coach, Tom Cable, and whether or not criminal charges will be filed against him for allegedly punching assistant coach Randy Hanson on Aug. 5 at the team’s training facility in Napa, Calif.
